'Sounds great!' - a common statement many of us say when a good idea is suggested.
At Ghostgum Audio, 'Sounds great!' is our mission.
When Ghostgum Audio set about developing a new recording studio, the ambition was to design and create an environment that inspired high quality recording. The result is a multi-function facility combining dedicated studio spaces suitable for recording anything from soloists to 76 piece ensembles, with teaching spaces, warm-up areas, and entertaining areas.
What you'll find here is an overview of the Ghosgum Audio facilities, adaptable by design to match a diverse range of recording requirements. Because at the end of the day we're all after the same thing, a recording that - sounds great!
Studio A
Studio A is the primary recording space and is suitable for large groups including orchestras, choirs and symphonic bands. With beautiful acoustics and a Yamaha 9' grand piano, this space is also ideal for smaller chamber ensembles and soloists.
Studio B & Studio C
Studio B & Studio C provide an additional recording and rehearsal spaces. Studio B is optimised for jazz and rock ensembles, while Studio C caters primarily for soloists and pianists.
